据估计,高血压影响着6500万美国人。虽有各种有效的治疗措施和广泛分发的治疗指南,但高血压患者的血压控制率仍不尽理想[1],医师的某些行医方式也和血压的控制有关。理解其中的关系有助于选择更好的治疗方法,进一步改善血压控制。该研究为横断面分析,研究者检查医师的行医特点对参加改善血压控制研究项目(hypertensioni mprovement project,HIP)患者血压控制的预测作用。医师的行医特点包括人口学特征(年龄、性别、种族、医学院毕业后的年限、完成住院医师培训后的年限)、高血压患者占所诊治患者的比
It is estimated that high blood pressure affects 65 million Americans. Although there are various effective treatments and widely distributed treatment guidelines, the rate of blood pressure control in hypertensive patients is still not satisfactory [1]. Some physician practices are also related to the control of blood pressure. Understanding the relationships helps to choose better therapies to further improve blood pressure control. The study was cross-sectional and the investigators examined physician’s practice characteristics to predict the blood pressure control in patients undergoing hypertension i mprovement project (HIP). Physician practice characteristics include demographic characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, years after graduation from medical school, years of life after completion of residency training), the proportion of hypertensive patients in the patients under treatment
